he 2012 Fresno State baseball season will open tonight at 6 p.m. when the Bulldogs host Butler. The Diamond ‘Dogs will look to start the season with a win as they go for their sixth consecutive WAC title in seven years, as well as their sixth tournament title in the same span.
For Jordan Brink, Chris Mariscal, Jordan Luplow, Shota Runge and Taylor Tempel, competing on the diamond together is nothing new. All five spent a majority of their years playing for the same teams while growing up in Fresno and Clovis.
Aaron Judge came on like a hurricane last season, batting .358 and earning the Louisville Freshman All-American and the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year awards. College Baseball Insider also named him a preseason honorable mention All-American for the 2012 season.
Growing up, Diane and Shota Runge never shied away from a game of catch together. But the thought that the two would one day be clad in Bulldog red in their respective dugouts, at the same time, never crossed their minds.
Current and former Bulldogs took to the diamond Saturday in the annual baseball alumni game. The current edition of the Bulldogs overtook the alumni in the eighth inning for a 9-3 victory.
The most memorable scene of “Moneyball,” the recently released Brad Pitt flick on Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane’s efforts to build a winning team with a small budget, was when a plethora of “old school” A’s scouts gathered around a table with an exasperated Beane to talk about how to build the next season’s team.
